B2B commodity trade coordination
Structured international trade, built around verification and documentation.
TTC helps qualified buyers and suppliers work through sourcing, compliance, documentation and cross-border transaction coordination in petrochemicals, minerals and metals, and food and agro.
Sectors
- Each quotation is written against one RFQ, not a public price list.
- TTC's process screens counterparties before commercial terms are discussed.
- Work is limited to petrochemicals, minerals and metals, and food and agro.
What TTC coordinates
Sourcing, export market development, and the documentation trail that a commodity transaction actually runs on.
Sourcing
Identify producers and stockholders, then qualify them against specification, volume, destination and compliance standing.
Export marketing
For producers: positioning, target-market selection, and a flow of qualified buyer inquiries, without publishing prices.
Trade execution support
Commercial terms, Incoterms, payment structure, inspection and documents, kept on file through close.
How a transaction is handled
The sequence is the same whether the inquiry starts with a buyer RFQ or a supplier mandate: qualify the requirement, screen the parties, then document the trade.

Transaction support
Industries
Three sectors, chosen for specification discipline, documentation load and compliance risk.
Petrochemicals
Polymers, fertilizers and chemical intermediates from producers who can document grade and origin.
Minerals and metals
Steel, non-ferrous metals and industrial minerals with mill or inspection documentation.
Food and agro
Grains, pulses and food ingredients where safety documents are part of the product.
Screening before a quote
A quotation is prepared only after the transaction has been through the documented compliance steps.

- 2Sanctions screening of product and producer
- 3Buyer and UBO verification
- 4Banking, shipping and insurance confirmation
- 5Contract with sanctions and end-use clauses
- 6Documentation and record-keeping
How coverage is decided
TTC does not treat a region as automatically in scope. Origin, destination, banking, shipping and sanctions are checked against that RFQ.

RFQ preparation
Commodity RFQ checklist: fields that make a quotation comparable
A commodity RFQ is quotable when it names the goods, quantity, packing, destination, Incoterm with a place, documents and payment. Generic procurement checklists omit mill identity and lot.
Inspection
COA vs third-party inspection in commodity trade
A COA answers a laboratory question about a named lot. A third-party inspection answers a cargo question, and only for the activities in the agreed scope.
Incoterms
Incoterms in commodity RFQs: cost, risk and a named place
Incoterms allocate delivery cost and risk. They are not payment terms and not title. FOB, CFR and CIF only work with a named place.
If you have a specification, send the RFQ.
A complete inquiry can be reviewed and quoted. There is no public price list and submitting an RFQ does not create an obligation.
